Fiorentina vs AS Roma Betting Tip and Prediction. In the first match of 1/8 finals in the UEFA Europa League, Artemio Franchi will meet two Italian clubs Fiorentina and AS Roma.
Fiorentina qualified in the 1/8 finals of this competition after they eliminated Tottenham. For them this competition is very important because the winner of UEFA Europa League will qualify directly in the UEFA Champions League.
They are currently standing at the 5h position in Italian Serie A and it will be very hard for them to reach the 3rd position which leads in Champions League because few very quality want the same.
Home side is undefeated at home in their last 7 matches in all competitions and they are looking for the win in the first match.
These two teams have already played about one month ago in the Italian Cup and Fiorentina was better side and beat AS Roma away 0-2.
Mohamed Salah is in the great form and he will be probably the most dangerous player for Roma’s defence.
Savic (21/2 d), Tatarusanu (8/0 g), Rossi (0/0 f), Bernardeschi (5/0 m), Lupatelli (0/0 g) and Gomez (15/2 f) are all out, while their top scorer Babacar (18/7 f) is doubtful.
AS Roma lost many points in Serie A in the last few matches and Juventus made an advantage of 11 points, so it will be very hard for the team from Rome to win the title this season.
Even the second position aren’t sure because Lazio and Napoli have only four points less, so for Roma is very important two keep the second position and qualify directly in Champions league next season.
AS Roma also have some problems with the absences. The second top scorer Totti (20/5 f), Strootman (6/0 m), Balzaretti (0/0 d), Castan (1/0 d), Ibarbo (0/0 f), Lobont (0/0 g) and Maicon (14/1 d) are all out, while Doumbia (2/0 f) is doubtful.
The visitors have managed to win only two times in the last 7 matches in all competitions and I’m not sure that they can win tonight.
I expect an interesting match between Fiorentina vs AS Roma and I’ll give an advantage to the home team who can make a good result in the first leg.
